A suspect has threatened to go after a police officer and his family after his release.
The suspect was seen handcuffed to a police Toyota Hilux van while the police officer was standing at the back of the vehicle.
The names of the duo and the place where the incident took place could not be immediately verified by our correspondent or whether it was a skit on Thursday.
About four officers who sat at the front of the police vehicle did not intervene in the disturbing conversation between the duo as they exchanged words.

Mustapha Ibrahim asked, “What an audacity”; while Marius Edu said please “Tell me this is skit and not real.”
According to Ahmed Laotan Suleiman, “When the law is soft on crime suspects, this is what you get.
“If they are locked up with hard labour in a reserved farm to till the soil, he won’t wish his enemy to go into crime.”
For Temitope Sheriff Adeosun, “My wish is for a prison system that will be productive for prisoners and our state. All prisoners, no matter how big, will work and get paid. They will work in the farm and factories created specifically for them. They will make money for our state,” he said.
